While some of the Twitterati said cricket is one of the best way to go through tough times, others commented that the video is "disturbing". The latter pointed out how some patients were lying on beds and men inside the quarantine facility played cricket around them.
The 37-second video shared by Abdullah does not reveal the place and other details of the quarantine centre. It shows a group playing cricket using a chair as the stumps. A few metres away were located dozens of beds with some patients.

'Disturbing'
I am sorry but does not look like a great idea.. It's a quarantine center and some patients may just feel like lying down and some peace...this actually looks disturbing... Really and figuratively

Threat of Transmission
Useless to keep people in Quarantine in such a way. It has no cross ventilation, so if 1 infected enters into d room all ll b affected bcoz micro droplets remain splendided in d air,whoever comes into contact with that air carrying infectious droplets ll get infected as well
